Be advised that dual heading your monitor can be a BEYATCH! (pardon my slang French) :). It is largely dependent upon the cards in use and the desired setup. Don't use the little GUI thing because it doesn't work for crap. At least it didn't for my setup.
Try editing the XF86Config file by hand and adding the line: Option "Clone" "off" under the section for "ServerLayout" Also be sure that Option "Ximerame" "on" is also set. And last if you can't get it to work, send me a copy of your XF86Config and I will take a look through it as time permits. I can't guarantee that I will be able to debug it, but I do know what the major chunks of the file should look like for what you are trying to accomplish. --T On Sat, 2003-12-20 at 18:55, Merle Watts wrote: > Just put a matrox G450 dual head in my linux box running mandrale 9.2.
